Important to have wrinkle injections by a Doctor-Other drugs will affect Botox?

Wrinkle injections are used to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles.One of the first questions posed by patients is the cost of wrinkle injections.It should not be the most important factor. Ultimately it is the results that are most important. You are having a doctor performing a procedure on you that will alter your appearance for many months.

Other medications such as cold or allergy medicine, muscle relaxers, sleeping pills, bronchodilators, bladder or urinary medicines, and irritable bowel medicines can increase some of the side effects of Botox. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these medications.
